QUICK START

We know you can’t wait to get the show on the road.

Who has time to read a booooring manual? That’s fine — the CFX Mixer is

designed to set up quickly and operate intuitively — but please, READ THIS PAGE!

MAKE THE CONNECTIONS:

1.Connect your amp’s outputs to your speaker inputs (unless, of course, you have powered monitors).

2.Plug all the sound system components into suitable AC outlets, properly grounded and capable of delivering adequate current.

3.Using XLR or TRS cables, make connec- tions from your mixer’s MAIN OUT to your amplification system’s line inputs.

4.Make connections from your microphones and instruments to the mixer: Connect balanced microphones to the mono channel MIC jacks. (For condenser microphones, engage the PHANTOM POWER switch, located just above the meters.) Connect line-level instruments (synthesizers, guitar effects, direct boxes) to the mono or stereo channel LINE IN TRS jacks.

5.Turn all the power switches on, leaving the amplifier’s switch for last.

6.Turn up the MAIN MIX Fader to the

“–30” label, for now. We’ll crank it up later on.

7.Turn up SUB Faders 1 and 2 to unity gain (“U” label).

SET THE LEVELS:

1.Choose one of the microphones or instru- ments you connected. Make some noise. If it’s a microphone, sing at your normal singing volume. If it’s a synthesizer, play it at its normal output level.

2.While making noise, turn up that channel’s TRIM until the adjacent ZERO LEVEL starts blinking.

3.Disengage (up) that channel’s MUTE.

4.Raise that channel’s fader to unity gain (“U” label). You should be hearing your noise now.

5.If necessary, apply channel EQ changes. (You may need to compensate for level changes with the channel fader.)

6.Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining active channels.

7.Stop making noise. Everyone: start making music.
